Hello, I'm a student using ansys fluent. I'm currently conducting a forced convection 2D analysis (battery cell heating analysis) If you give temperature conditions to the boundary of the encloser created by boolean, heat is transferred to the encloser, but if you give temperature conditions to the cell surface or cell itself, heat is trapped inside the cell and not to transferred encloser. Does anyone know how to connect the boundaries of the cell and the encloser or how to solve this problem? Thank you.

Hello Please try and perform the Share Topology operation between the Solid Cells and the Fluid volume surrounding them. You should do this in Ansys SpaceClaim. There are several videos on YouTube on this topic. Once you do this, Fluent will automatically create a coupled wall - wall-shadow pair, which should allow the transfer of heat from the cell to the enclosure.
